Pricing more affordable auto insurance coverage is easy if you know what you’re doing. Essentially everyone who buys auto insurance will be able to find lower rates. But drivers do need to know how the larger insurance companies determine prices because it can help you find the best coverage.

Ways to get car insurance quotes

When comparison shopping, there are several ways to obtain and compare prices from car insurance companies in your area. The best way to compare rates consists of shopping online. This is very easy and can be done in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

  1. The most efficient method to compare a lot of rates at once is to use a rate comparison form click to view form in new window. This type of form eliminates the need for boring form submissions for each company you want a rate for. One quote request will return quotes from several companies.
  2. A less efficient way to find lower rates is spending the time to visit the website for every company you want to comare and get a separate price quote. For example, we’ll pretend you want to get rates from Progressive, 21st Century and Geico. To get each rate you have to visit each site and type in your information over and over, and that’s why the first method is more popular.

  3. The last way to comparison shop is calling or driving to insurance agencies in your area. Buying insurance online can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you have a complicated situation and need the professional advice of a licensed agent. Although you can price shop online but buy from a local insurance agent.

You can choose any of those ways to find more affodable coverage, but try to keep the exact same information on every quote. If you are comparing unequal deductibles or liability limits it’s impossible to determine the best price for your Jaguar XJR. Having just a slight variation in insurance coverages may cause a big price difference. Just remember that making a lot of price comparisons will increase your chances of finding a lower rate. Not every company provides online price quotes, so it’s important to also get prices from them, too.

Lower rates by qualifying for discounts

Not too many consumers would say car insurance is affordable, but you can get discounts to help offset the cost. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time of quoting, but a few need to be inquired about before you will receive the discount. If you check and find you aren’t receiving every discount available, you may be paying too high a price.

  • Save over 55 – Mature drivers could receive reduced rates on XJR insurance.
  • Safety Restraint Discount – Drivers who require all occupants to fasten their seat belts can save 10% or more off the PIP or medical payment premium.
  • Distant Student Discount – who live away from home at college and do not take a car to college can receive lower rates.
  • Early Switch Discount – Some companies give discounts for switching policies before your current coverage expires. You can save around 10% with this discount.
  • Theft Prevention System – Cars, trucks, and SUVs optioned with advanced anti-theft systems are less likely to be stolen and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags could see savings of 25 to 30%.
  • Multi-car Discount – Purchasing coverage when you have primary and secondary vehicles with one company can get a discount on all vehicles.

While discounts sound great, it’s important to understand that many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like collision or personal injury protection. So when it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, car insurance companies aren’t that generous.

Popular car insurance companies and a selection of discounts can be found below.

  • Esurance includes discounts for multi-policy, good student, anti-lock brakes, renters, and multi-car.
  • The Hartford may offer discounts for vehicle fuel type, defensive driver, good student, anti-theft, and air bag.
  • AAA offers premium reductions for good student, multi-policy, AAA membership discount, pay-in-full, good driver, and anti-theft.
  • Geico has savings for emergency military deployment, anti-lock brakes, federal employee, daytime running lights, multi-vehicle, and anti-theft.
  • State Farm may include discounts for anti-theft, good driver, Drive Safe & Save, accident-free, multiple autos, and passive restraint.

When getting free insurance quotes, it’s a good idea to each company or agent which discounts can lower your rates. A few discounts may not apply to policyholders in your state.

Insurance is unique, just like you

When choosing proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s and your policy should reflect that. For example, these questions may help highlight whether you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
  • Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?
  • What is high-risk coverage and where do I buy it?
  • Should I buy only the required minimum liability coverage?
  • Can my babysitter drive my car?
  • Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Auto insurance coverage basics

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the normal coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Jaguar XJR.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Coverage for medical expenses – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like prosthetic devices, hospital visits, funeral costs and doctor visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverages – This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers things such as pain and suffering, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income, medical services and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your XJR resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims like colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a building, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive auto insurance – This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as theft, hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
